I have the temp in my terrarium stablized at about 81 degrees. Nothing is inside the terrarium--I've been trying to make sure everything works right before I proceed. I leveled the bottom with 1.5 to 2 inches of perlite and poured a 1/2 inch of water in and a little bit of peroxide. But the humidity level is staying around 85%. I don't know if something is wrong or if this is because the terrarium is empty. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I don't have a hygrometer...As far as the seal, I have a rubbermaid lid with plastic taped over the top. I then have two towels draped over the whole terrarium. The lid should be fine. What about this hygrometer though. What exactly does it do, and can't I get one at a local smokeshop?

The seal should be fine then. You might actually be at 99% humidity. If water is condensating on the side of the terrarium you should be fine. I would recommend the electronic hygrometer you can pick up at The Home Depot for around $15. It has a nice Max/Min feature that tracks swings in Temp and Humidity over the last 24 hours.

go with a reptile one you cant fuck em up like the digi ones, plus those are for relative humidity from20-90% more then 90 for to long fuks em all up, buy a reptile shit i like the fluckers mines dead on.

I have a thermometer/humidity gauge combo. It ranges from 80-85 degress on the humidity gauge and 82-84 degrees on the thermometer...so I'm assuming humidity is different when it comes to percentages? There is plenty of condensation on the lid and sides.
